I agree Matt. I deleted off-topic and stock touts and how great they are and the one liners of disruption. It came to EGADS that I deleted negatives. However, after that he refered to the site as hypsters and it got deleted.
A bunch of banter and laced within it nonsense is exactly that and the redundancy of the same old nonsense gets old after a while. Most of the time the posts have no underlying basis except disruption, or attacks or off topic.
IHUB is not the "Protector of the People" it is a business operating under the Library Law and though everyone is cognizant of the freedom of speech there are exceptions as defined in every TOS I ever read. Problem is most site want hits and the more fighting the more hits or off topic hits like the "GRUB" game.
I think IHUB should police the COBs and the COB should police their own site. If you find a negative on a stock board with a solid underlying basis I everyone agrees it should not be deleted. but IF that post has name calling or accusations that can;t be supported then by deleting it you force the poster to have to post with some responsibility to be hear.
